Maori Lan and distant mountains and leaves suddenly became the focus of attention of the audience.

"The prisoner who broke the vase was between the two of them?"

Hattori Heizou's brows furrowed slightly, and although his tone was calm, he could always make people feel a heavy majesty.

Miss Heye was completely cornered.

"It's over..."

Yuanshan and Ye's faces lost blood, and their brains were in a trance.

She felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff, and if she was gently pushed one more step, she would fall into the bottomless abyss.

She did it.

At that time, she felt depressed because she felt crushed by Maolilan in all directions, so she ran to the courtyard alone to vent her emotions.

As a result, I didn't expect that a casual kick I made when I was angry would cause such a big mistake.

"I should have admitted it sooner..."

And Miss Ye suddenly regretted her evasion and concealment at the beginning.

But it can't be helped...

If it were in normal times, before Maoriran appeared, Miss Kazuye would definitely admit her mistakes honestly and frankly, just like the legendary "Falling Sakura God Axe Washington".

After all, she's not a guy who doesn't take responsibility.

And with the relationship between the Toyama family and the Hattori family, this unintentional mistake of Toyama and Ye is actually nothing.

But now is different, now is the critical moment for her and the Miss Maori to "wrestle in secret".

In the previous confrontation without gunpowder, he and Miss Ye have fallen behind in an all-round way.

So she subconsciously concealed the truth, and didn't dare to let people know that she was the culprit who broke Hattori's Heizou cherished collection.

Otherwise, he who was about to be "replaced" by Maolilan would definitely lose more points in front of Heiji's father.

This is the idea of the distant mountains and leaves under the suffering of gains and losses.

But what she didn't expect was...

"Managing Officer Nalin actually found me out just by footprints and holes in the glass."

"How so..."

Although there is still Maolilan, the No. 2 suspect, as cover.

But Miss Kazuha knows very well that for Heiji Hattori and his father, who is the head of the prefectural police headquarters, this kind of 2-for-1 detective game is really simple.

"I'm sure I'll be discovered."

"In Uncle Heizou's eyes, I will soon become an untrustworthy villain completely!"

and Miss Ye was desperate for a while.

At this moment, she can already imagine the dissatisfaction of the Heizou couple against her, and Heiji has gradually distanced himself from her, and fast-forward to the terrible image of himself drinking alcohol at the wedding of Heiji Hattori and Miss Maori a few years later.

"Kazuha, Miss Maori."

Hattori Heizo gave an ultimatum:

"If it's really one of you who did it, be brave enough to take responsibility!"

"I..."The distant mountains and leaves could no longer support it.

She closed her eyes in despair, ready to stand up and turn herself in:

"It's me!"

Someone got ahead of her.

"Huh?!" Yuanshan and Ye's faces froze, and they couldn't help but quietly look at Mao Lilan beside them.

I saw that Miss Maori, who she regarded as the enemy of life and death at this time, actually took the initiative to stand up and admit her mistake with a guilty face:

"I'm sorry, Uncle Heizou..."

"I'm the one who broke the vase."

"At that time, I was going to move around the courtyard before going to bed, but I didn't expect to use too much strength, so I kicked the pebbles out."

Maolilan took the pot all to himself.

She then bowed deeply to Hattori Heizou and sincerely apologized:

"I'm sorry, I didn't dare admit it before."

"I will definitely find a way to compensate you in full for the losses caused!"

"......" was silent for a while.

Yuanshan and Ye were still stunned, their eyes full of confusion.

Hattori Heizou pondered for a moment, and the seriousness on his face quietly turned into a smile:

"Haha... It was just an accident. ”

"Since Miss Maori is willing to admit her mistake, this matter is over."

"Compensation or something, you don't have to."

"No compensation?" Maolilan still seemed very apologetic: "That's your favorite vase!" ”

"It's okay, it's just a vase..."

The corners of Hattori's mouth twitched slightly.

But then, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all, he said in a calm tone:

"Let this matter pass."

"It's not too early, everyone goes back to rest."

With that, Hattori Heizou took the lead into the house.

The Aunt Jinghua also nodded politely and thoughtfully to everyone, and with a meaningful smile, she followed her husband and left.

It didn't take long for everyone to go back one after another.

There was only Mao Lilan, and there was still a blank look at Miss He Ye who was still standing there with a blank look in her eyes.

"Miss Maori...", Toyama and Ye Neneh looked at each other, "You—Why are you lying?" ”

"The prisoner who broke the vase is obviously me..."

"Because I can understand your feelings with Miss Ye."

Mao Lilan blinked her big watery eyes, releasing a moving soft light:

"You care a lot about your childhood sweetheart, so you're worried that you'll leave a bad impression in the eyes of his family, aren't you?"

"And I'm to blame for this..."

"If it weren't for my negligence with Miss Ye's feelings and keeping getting too close to Mr. Heiji, you wouldn't have been so angry and ran to the courtyard to kick the stones."

"I..."Toyama and Haha were speechless for a while.

Her little caution has long been seen through.

But her "opponent" did not use this to deal with her, but sacrificed himself to pull her when she was most desperate.

Why?

"Because I've never been your match..."

"And Miss Ye, your worries are a little too much."

Mao Lilan stepped forward and gently shook Toyama Kazuha's hand.

She let the other party feel the warmth of her palm, and said in that sincere tone:

"Still, I can understand your thoughts."

"Seeing the person you like is too close to other people of the opposite sex, you will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Maolilan does feel this firsthand.

For example, when Conan was rubbing in Ye's arms, she almost couldn't resist the urge to go out and find a telephone pole to shoot.

Compared to her, when she is angry with Miss Ye, she just kicks the turf, which is really too civilized.

And in the face of Maolilan's frankness, Toyama Kazuha's reaction was:

"I—I..."

"I didn't like that black charcoal head!"

Maoriran: "......."

It's all come to this point, and I'm too shy to say it.

It was as if she had seen her past self.

"Miss Heye, please speak your mind boldly!"

"Reveal your heart, and the other party will definitely reciprocate with sincerity."

Maolilan encouraged as a passerby.

"I..."Yuan Shan and Ye pounded in their hearts, and lowered their heads shyly: "Hmm... I'll think again. ”

The estrangement and hostility between the two quietly disappeared, and in its place was an unprecedented warmth and harmony.

"Thank you, Miss Maori."

Miss He Ye finally knew that she was too insecure and thought too much.

She regarded others as enemies, but this kind Miss Maori not only did not get angry and annoyed by her bad face, but also helped and encouraged her with virtue.

even persuaded her to confess early.

This is definitely not something that a rival in love would do.

"You're such a nice guy..."

The hearts of the distant mountains and leaves were full of emotion.

Looking at the sincere and gentle eyes in front of her, she felt...

It seems that he has also fallen.

.............................

Mao Lilan used his actions to resolve the contradiction between himself and the distant mountains and leaves.

The two girls immediately became friends.

They talked for a long time in the courtyard before smiling goodbye and going back to their rooms to rest.

"Miss Maori is so gentle."

"However, what she said, I want to go to Pingji now..."

Toyama and Ye thought about the good of the Maori lady in their hearts, and at the same time, they thought of the other party's shy suggestion.

The thought of the word "confession" makes her pink cheeks burn red.

And just when he and Miss Ye were struggling with whether to follow the advice...

The childhood sweetheart who haunted her dreams quietly appeared on her way back to her room and stopped her:

"Ping, Pingji?"

Yuanshan and Ye stopped in a panic:

"You... Do you have anything to do with me? ”

pondered the confession in her heart, and the confession object popped out in front of her, which made her feel very throbbing.

But the topic mentioned by Hattori Heiji is not so romantic and relaxed:

"Kazuha, the prisoner who broke the vase is actually you, right?"

"Huh?" Yuanshan and Ye's expressions froze.

"You... How do you know—" Her voice, which had become thin and thin from shyness, suddenly became softer.

"You can see it at a glance."

Hattori Heiji shook his head helplessly:

"By the time we finished our investigation, it wasn't long before the 'crime' happened."

"And at night there is dew on the grass blades, and the soil is damp."

"Even if the prisoner had rubbed the dirt off the soles of his shoes on the doormat when he had gone back to the house, he would not have been able to dry the dew on the uppers of his shoes."

"But when we were discerning the prisoners..."

He paused slightly, and his gaze moved down to the slippers on the feet of the distant mountains and leaves:

"Kazuha, the upper of your slippers was still wet at the time."

"Miss Maori's slippers are not stained with any water at all."

"I...."Yuanshan and Ye were speechless: "Sure enough, you can see it, Pingji." ”

"That's right, I'm the prisoner."

"Alas," she sighed deeply, her gaze quietly becoming firm, "Tomorrow I will go to Uncle Heizou to make it clear, Miss Maori should not be allowed to take responsibility for this matter." ”

"No need." Hattori Heiji shook his head: "My dad already knew. ”

"This..."Thinking of Uncle Heizo's unrevealing aura, Miss Ye couldn't help but shrink his head: "W-When did he know?" ”

"I knew it then."

"My dad's eyesight is no worse than mine... What's more, at that time, Heye's expression was still so obvious. ”

Heiji Hattori recalled with some amusement:

"And it's not just my dad who knows, my mom's smile is also very meaningful."

"And Mr. Lin Xinyi, who was present at the time, Miss Chrissy."

"By the way, I think the little ghost named Conan, and the little girl named Gray Plains, should also be seen."

Distant Mountains and Leaves: "......."

Except for the servants, all the co-authors present can see the real murderer?

What the hell is Miss Maori protecting? Isn't this sin in vain?

Wait a minute...

That woman couldn't have predicted that Uncle Hattori could see the truth, so she deliberately stood up to help her take the blame, to show her gentle and kind character, right?

In this way, compared with Maolilan, who repays grievances and sacrifices himself with virtue, the distant mountains and leaves that are cowering and have no responsibility are even more bleak.

Even she, a rival in love, was fooled into becoming a best friend.

What a terrible serial scheme!

......

If it had been before, Miss He Ye would definitely speculate so maliciously.

But now, as long as she tries to analyze Maolilan's so-called "tea art", a pair of big, watery eyes come to her mind.

Then came a sense of guilt:

"What was I thinking..."

"How could Miss Maori be such a bad person!"

Toyama and Ye shook their heads amusedly.

After all, she was completely fallen.
